That could be; I don't suppose that incandescents like lots of heat/cool
cycles, but it's possibly worse for CFLs.
Meanwhile, the California State Ass'y voted to ban
plastic bags, so that
we can all either cut down trees and pay a nickel each, or pay the store
a couple bucks for cheapo 'reusable' bags that tear at the slightest glance.
I'll just be making more frequent trips for smaller shopping lists to avoid
using bags at all.
I've not known those bags to tear much - but every one I've looked at is made
in far-flung lands. Until they're made and shipped locally, I'm not sure
there's any point in using them.
Environmental conservation is fun!
If it could be decoupled from politics, I suspect we'd start seeing ideas that
actually made sense - but until that happens, scoring points by brainwashing
the population into believing that something is good seems to be more important.
